Jill’s vast experience has resulted in a unique and highly successful training approach. She delivers results in a relaxed and straightforward manner. A qualified drama therapist, teacher and Brain Gym® consultant, Jill has a wealth of experience and understanding of the emotional and psychological health of children and adults. She uses this knowledge to offer training and support in schools in the UK and abroad.

The emotional well-being of pupils and staff in schools is at the heart of Jill’s practice – she trained to deliver the ‘Supportive Friends’ programme from Australia, which addresses depression and suicide in the young. Jill has also spent the past year researching, designing and piloting lessons for Bradford’s Anti-Racist School-kit Project – for use within the Citizenship Curriculum.

Prior to becoming a freelance trainer, Jill gained 24 years of experience teaching in various schools, from Nursery to Sixth Form, in inner-city Bradford and East London. Her work as a Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator started her off on her quest to “switch children on” to learning, and bring more joy into schools.

She is an NLP Master Practitioner, Circle Time trainer, Touch for Health Instructor, LEAP Practitioner and a licensed provider of “The Listening Programme”
